De Waeldernis
Tucked away among the old fruit trees of de Waelde Tuin, just 3.5 kilometres from op Oost, you’ll find our Eco Farm Camping de Waeldernis. Fifteen tipi bell tents are scattered across one hectare of orchard: off-grid and immersed in nature, yet with the comfort of a beautifully made bed. Here, the rustling trees, birdsong and star-filled skies become part of your stay.
Combine the refinement of op Oost with one or more nights in de Waeldernis and experience our regenerative hospitality from an entirely different perspective. Even more space to slow down, wonder, reconnect and become just a little more verwaelderd. [adults & humans only]
Orchard
Our restaurant and boutique hotel are surrounded by an edible garden.
For our Signature Menu, the kitchen creates a selection from whatever nature, our Waelde Tuin and the farmers we work with are offering at that moment.
We source as much as possible from nearby, occasionally allowing ourselves to explore ingredients from further afield. Discover powerful contrasts in flavour and texture, with growing, fermenting and foraging at the heart of our cuisine.
- Restaurant | Inspired by Nature Signature Menu
- Bar, terrace & lounge | Cocktails, wine, bites & sharing plates — hotel guests only
Our restaurant opening hours, please check out the reservation form.

We go one step further...
Imagine a place where you don’t simply sleep and dine, but discover the landscape behind every flavour. op Oost is a regenerative destination where you are not merely a guest, but become part of the nature that nourishes you.
From our edible garden at op Oost to the island’s wild landscapes and our nearby orchard, De Waelde Tuin — together with our farmers, producers and you as our guest, everything becomes connected. A delicate balance. One living ecosystem.
Sow with us, wander through the garden, uncover its secrets and taste what the season has to offer. Feel how the elements set the rhythm. Here, we don’t simply take from nature — we give something back.
Together, we create a place that not only nourishes you, but is also given the space to grow, flourish and rewild through your stay.
Our green hart
In everything we do, we seek to reconnect ourselves, our guests and our community with nature. In a world where everything seems within our control and the rush of everyday life sets the pace, we want to give nature her voice back.
Whether through the fruit we grow, our freshly laid eggs, a stay at our Eco Farm Camping, or at op Oost in our boutique hotel and restaurant Het Kook Atelier — here, nature always has the first and final say.
Discover our edible world
Join us on a journey of discovery through the edible garden at op Oost, or wander through our nearby Waelde Tuin. Two different landscapes, connected by the same philosophy: working with nature, rather than against it.
Discover wild and cultivated herbs, edible plants and flavours you may later find on your plate. Learn why something that looks like a weed can be incredibly valuable to us, how birds and insects play their part in our ecosystem, and how, among the old fruit trees, vegetable gardens and food forest of De Waelde Tuin, we are creating an ever richer and more diverse landscape.
Taste what the season has to offer along the way and discover the stories behind our ingredients. From seed to harvest, and from landscape to plate, this is where you experience why we go beyond farm to table.
